Toggle stanza 1بر آن بودم که فرهنگی بجویم
11
بر آن بودم که فرهنگی بجویم
که آن مه رو نهد رویی به رویم
I was intent on seeking a stratagem, that that moon-faced one might set his face on mine.
22
بگفتم یک سخن دارم به خاطر
به پیش آ تا به گوش تو بگویم
I said, “I have one word in my mind; come forward, that I may speak it in your ear.
33
که خوابی دیدهام من دوش ای جان
ز تو خواهم که تعبیرش بجویم
Last night, dear soul, I saw a dream, and I desire to seek from you its interpretation.
44
ندارم محرم این خواب جز تو
تو بشنو ای شه ستارخویم
I have none intimate with this dream but you; do you listen, my king whose habit is to conceal.”
55
بجنبانید سر را و بخندید
سری را که بداند مو به مویم
He moved his head and laughed—that head which knows me hair by hair—
66
که یعنی حیله با من می سکالی
که من آیینه هر رنگ و بویم
As if to say, “You are hatching a trick to play on me, for I am the mirror of every hue and scent.”
77
مثال لعبتی ام در کف او
که نقش سوزن زردوز اویم
I am as a plaything in his hands, for I am the picture drawn by his gold-stitching needle.
88
نباشد بیحیات آن نقش کو کرد
کمین نقشش منم درهای و هویم
Not lifeless shall be the image which he has made; I am his least image, I am therefore in ecstasy.
